Because if we take that map literally, it says PITSTOPS in Delhi x2 and Moscow x2.
But since it is CBS, I guess they could mean LEGS and not actual Pitstops?? :iok
I am mystified at CBS doing this unless they seriously decided since we had the route, they might as well concede, :lol:

:groan: I know peach, the term "pitstop" is very controversial... so I deliberately avoided using it and just went with "legs".
BTW, has TAR ever had 2 pitstops in the same city ???
....cue the pitstop greeter..."Welcome to Moscow".... one week later, cue the greeter... "Welcome to Moscow, AGAIN!" :funny:
;)

Boingo makes me laugh... :jumpy:
Well, that's a good point though. Probably not? So CBS said Pitstops and they should have said Legs---I can buy that!
Good thing we know that our Moscow video has to be the last Pitstop/Leg by the dates...

Heres why I was thinking Cambodia to India as a leg (now we know its New Delhi)

--- Quote from: puddin on August 19, 2008, 12:14:53 PM ---I'll take India for 2 legs and all of Russia for a total of 3. I'll now pass on Cambodia as 2 pit stops, rather on day 2 in Cambodia teams search for a clue that takes them to obscure India, how else would they know that the place in India was obscure? They must have had a "clue".

Wasn't it an obscure location in Delhi? I thought it was probably the grain place.... ???
From Jason:
--- Quote ---Girls: Um, can you do us a favor? So you're going to India?
Me: No, actually Nepal.
Girls: Oh. Is that near India?
Girls: Well, we need to find something in India and thought you might be able to help since you were going near there.
Me: Okkkkkkkkk. But I'm actually going to Nepal.
Girls: Well, we're looking for something really obscure in Delhi.

The point being is that they normally get a clue, fly to Delhi, India then get a clue in say Delhi to tell them what the first task is not ""go to some place obscure India, get it?
Remember they were on flight from Bangkok to Delhi when they talked to Jason, not in Delhi.
So I'm thinking the last task in Cambodia was seaching for the faces (brb)
--- Quote ---We didn't manage to take a picture of it but i think we ran into a couple doing the Amazing Race here. We'll have to check out the next season but the couple was being followed by a camera man and they had to find a specific face in the ruins.

Just to catch up....
So I just got back into Thailand from Cambodia.... which is why i haven't posted in a while. Ends up that Cambodia is not a telecommunications mecca. Anyways, everything has kinda been a whirlwind. Covered 3 countries in 2 weeks and it kinda feels like we are on "The Amazing Race".... and i mean literally. Yesterday we were in Angkor Wat (more of that story later... it is AMAZING... you should look up pictures... seriously a Wonder of the Ancient world--- i thought better than the stuff i saw in Rome) The Amazing Race was filming at Angkor the same day we were there. AND THEN... we end up at the airport to fly to Bangkok from Cambodia... and who was on our airplane.... thats right.... 3 teams competing on the next season of the Amazing Race. We are sitting there and then all the sudden all these camera and sound guys are filming everything. And the producer guy was sitting in the seat right behind me and vida. CRAZY!! So now we consider ourselves official unofficial cast members. And before all this started I was telling vida that i thought it felt like we were on the amazing race.

:res: not to beat a point to death.... IIRC, didn't BVM say that they have a scavenger hunt scheduled for the racers in Moscow. I can see the post-production folks stretching that concept into an extended leg. As far as Delhi/New Delhi goes, they have done a TBC before in a previous TAR season in India. :angel: We shall see. :sucks

I'm not understanding this discussion.
We are talking fact now. The time for "wants" or "maybes" or "possibilities" is past.
FACT: CBS has released the route and announced all of the Pitstops.
FACT: The Pitstops are: (see the box in the lower left corner on the OFFICIAL CBS Route Map? The one that says PITSTOPS?)
1. Salvador, Brazil
2. Fortaleza, Brazil
3. La Paz, Bolivia
4. Te Puke, New Zealand
5. Siem Reap, Cambodia
6. New Delhi, India
7. Old Delhi, India
8. Almaty, Kazakhstan
9. Moscow, Russia
10. Moscow, Russia
11. Portland, Oregon
FACT: The route is no longer up for discussion, it is what it is.
Since when would CBS call a leg a Moscow leg and send teams to Nepal instead? After announcing Moscow in a major press release?
Time to accept the facts, IMO! :groan:

If the individuals in charge knew what the "facts" were, I might be able accept this. BVM and Jonathan Littman have made many misstatements in his public pronoucements. Where do you think CBS is getting the information for their map from? Is it a reliable source who is free from error? The answer is clearly the negative.
